That's why I believe it won't help to specify the default in the data
model. And it's not necessary - I can actually imagine a manager station
that follows the standards and changes the wrong defaults in misbehaving
devices - and showing the user only non-default values, but according to
its own set of defaults, not necessarily the devices'.
